Mario Sunshine Beta (Space World 2001 Trailer) Unseen64: an Archive for Beta & Cancelled Games 2006-07-14 | http://www.unseen64.net August 22, 2001 - Well, it's finally happened. Nintendo has unveiled the next-generation of the Mario franchise -- the successor to Super Mario 64 as it were. Press on-hand at Nintendo's Space World 2001 event in Tokyo, Japan caught a glimpse of the anticipated sequel for GameCube during a brief video previewed by designer Shigeru Miyamoto. The footage officially introduced Mario Sunshine as the title of the game and highlighted 30 or so seconds of in-game footage that consisted of some big, interactive environments that would make platform junkies drool and a whole lot of trademark jumping. When it was all over was everyone present speechless and giddy? Well, not exactly -- but there's definitely promise, and as usual Nintendo is keeping the majority of the game a secret at this point. [...] The environment -- the one previewed, was not at all like what one might expect coming out of Super Mario 64. Instead of bright green pastures and castle backdrops, Mario manipulated what can best be described as a city and suburbia -- a setting much more fitting for a Sonic Adventure. The plumber jumped and flipped up houses to roof tops, ran through quiet roadways and down alley entrances. The size of the area seemed three or four times the standard level in Super Mario 64, and more detailed too. But not so detailed as to be shocking. Rather, some of the texture work on the background areas seemed rather primitive when compared to some other GameCube titles, and the geometry constructing some 3D objects wasn't terribly impressive. http://cube.ign.com/articles/097/097694p1.html

The game was first released for PlayStation on October 16, 1997. A Nintendo Switch port of the game was announced and released in Japan on October 10, 2019 by Onion Games, Yoshiro Kimura's development studio. A Western release with official English localization was released on August 27, 2020: moon-rpg.com/enTime follows a set calendar that runs in real time. The Day of the Sun, a day-off, is the equivalent to Sunday. The Day of the New Moon is Monday, The Day of the Bonfire is Tuesday, The Day of the Tear is Wednesday, The Day of the Leaves is Thursday, The Day of the Neka (Real Moon's currency) is Friday, and The Day of the Echo is like Saturday. The world's inhabitants (and the animal's souls, too) follow their own regular schedules each week. Hero leaves behind the corpses of the animals he's killed all over the world. Boy must catch the soul that manifests, whereupon the soul is whisked away to the Moon and the Boy obtains "Love". A soul appears during a certain time of day each week. The premise of Moon is considered to be ahead of its time. It is an early example of the Isekai genre of Japanese fantasy fiction, with its plot involving the protagonist being sucked into the fantasy-themed virtual world of a role-playing game.[22] It has been described as an "anti-RPG" for the way it subverts RPG tropes. The game's designer and writer, Yoshiro Kimura, went on to create Chulip (2002) and Little King's Story (2009), and founded the indie game studio Onion Games.Indie developer Toby Fox cited Moon as a major inspiration behind his 2015 role-playing video game Undertale. While he had not actually played the game because it was in Japanese, he was inspired by the game's concepts. He noted that Moon was "an adventure game where you enter the world of an RPG where a "Hero" has caused havoc" and "the point of the game is to repair the damage the "Hero" caused and increase your LV" (Love Level) "by helping people instead of hurting them."en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon:_Remix_RPG_Adventure► Please, consider pledge on Patreon to help Unseen64 to keep the site online and remember more lost games: patreon.com/unseen64► This video is released under Fair Use, to help preserving the unseen history of video games.

Crank the Weasel: A Cancelled 1930s Style Adventure | Unseen64 Ft. Hikikomori Media Unseen64: an Archive for Beta & Cancelled Games 2018-05-28 | ► ► unseen64.net/2008/04/15/crank-the-weasel-xboxps2-cancelled Originally announced at E3 2002, Crank the Weasel is a cancelled action adventure in development by Midway San Diego for PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox. As it happened 15 years later with Cuphead, Crank’s look and feel were inspired by 1930's American cartoon art style, with a humorous and mature twist somehow similar to Conker’s Bad Fur Day.Crank The Weasel featured an interesting sandbox gameplay, in which players would freely explore the game’s levels, interact with funny characters and find out many different ways to complete its objectives. The main goal of Crank was to get money and steal items by creating chaos in the game’s world - spreading lies and making mischief. You could play enemy gangs off against each other, going to Strip Clubs, stealing loot from characters and reselling it to others.Interaction with characters and gangs in the game would have been particularly ambitious. When Crank would steal something, the original owners would roam the level seeking vengeance and try stealing their missing items from other characters. The team even licensed the popular song used in Benny Hill’s sketches to play when Crank would bite and infect a character, unleashing a chaotic animal-biting chain reaction across the whole level.► Thanks to Miles / Hikikomori Media for the voice over!

Obscure was a short series of survival horror games created by French studio Hydravision Entertainment, with a first chapter published by DreamCatcher Interactive in 2004 for Playstation 2, Xbox and PC. The game soon gained a cult following of fans, thanks to its school settings, multiple characters to use, catchy soundtrack and a fun co-op mode.

The Nintendo DS port was quietly cancelled and the only info available was its planned title, Obscure: Dark Aura.Being impossible to manage a game similar to the Playstation 2 version on the Nintendo DS, many speculations about this lost game have been circulated online.

Metal Max: Wild Eyes, Dreamcasts Lost Strategy Open World | Unseen64 Ft. Dreamklub Unseen64: an Archive for Beta & Cancelled Games 2017-09-12 | ► Metal Max is a long living series of strategy RPGs that started in 1991 on the Famicom, initially created by a rather obscure company known as Crea-Tech and published by Data East. Metal Max was quite a revolutionary and ambitious game for its time, being one of the first open world games on the Famicom, with a big world to freely explore, different missions to complete in any order and multiple endings depending on your choices.As you could guess from its title, the Metal Max series was heavily inspired by Mad Max movies: all the games in the series are set in a post-apocalyptic world mostly covered by deserts and destroyed cities, where players can accept bounty missions to hunt down monsters and criminals while upgrading their combat vehicles and weapons.After the 2D chapters on the Famicom and Super Famicom, in september 1999 during Tokyo Game Show ASCII Entertainment announced a new 3D Metal Max to be published for the Sega Dreamcast under the title “Metal Max Overdrive” and later renamed “Metal Max: Wild Eyes”. Unfortunately Metal Max for Dreamcast was soon cancelled and only a few screenshots and a short video still exist to preserve the existence of this interesting strategy title: unseen64.net/2008/04/10/metal-max-wild-eyes-dc-unreleased► Thanks to Dreamklub for the voice over!

You can check his channel at youtube.com/user/ItsaDogandGame► What happened to Jade Empire 2 and what is Revolver, the ambitious Bioware RPG we'll never play? In the mid '90s BioWare was a favorite team to western RPG fans thanks to cult classics such as the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights series. At the end of the ‘90s they wanted to enter the console market and developed MDK2 for Interplay, but unfortunately that did not set the market on fire as they could have dreamed for. After Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Bioware decided to embrace a more action oriented combat system suitable for controllers and the results was one of the best action RPGs to be released on the original Xbox: Jade Empire, published in April 2005. Only a few months later Microsoft released their new Xbox 360 and in November 2005 BioWare co-founder Ray Muzkya teased the existence of a sequel for Jade Empire, already in development at the time.While Jade Empire is now a cult classic, unfortunately it did not sell as much as expected on the original Xbox and after a few months of concepts and early prototypes, Bioware decided that Jade Empire was not popular enough for their new plans.Jade Empire 2 was chosen as the core to develop a new action RPG series for both consoles and PC: the mythical chinese martial-arts setting of Jade Empire was dropped in favor of a more urban, near-future sci-fi setting. With the Jade Empire name removed from the project, Bioware gave it a new codename: Revolver.► Please, consider pledge on Patreon to help Unseen64 to keep the site online and remember more lost games: patreon.com/unseen64 Unseen64 is an archive to preserve articles, screens and videos for cancelled, beta & unseen videogames.

Phoenix: The Lost XBOX SRPG Cancelled by Bungie | Unseen64 (ft. SoberDwarf) Unseen64: an Archive for Beta & Cancelled Games 2016-12-14 | Before Halo and Destiny, in late 90’ Jason Jones, Bungie's co-founder along with Alex Seropian, had the idea of creating a fantasy tactical role playing game where you fight against huge armies of characters. It was a project nicknamed “The Giant Bloody War Game”, inspired by movies such as Braveheart and fantasy novels such as The Black Company. This was the conception of Myth: The Fallen Lords, a game that became another big success for Bungie and holder of many innovations for the RTS genre in 1997. Bungie was officially purchased by Microsoft in 2000, when the company was trying to acquire developers to create exclusive games for their debut console: the Xbox. The Myth franchise was transferred to its publisher Take-Two Interactive, but Microsoft and Bungie did not forget their RTS fans and were already planning a new tactical RPG that would have revolutionized the genre on console. This new project was internally known as “Phoenix” (or "Breach") and it would have been one of the first exclusive Xbox games by Bungie.► You can read more about Phoenix and many more lost games in our book: Video Games You Will Never Play:unseen64.net/2016/09/19/video-games-you-will-never-play-unseen64-book► Thanks to SoberDwarf for the voice-over! youtube.com/c/SoberDwarfShow ► This video is released under Fair Use, to help preserving the unseen history of video games.► References and footage used:Full article from the Unseen64 book - Video Games You Will Never Playhttp://phoenix.bungie.org http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/Phoenix Artworks by Craig Mullins http://www.goodbrush.com http://www.1up.com/features/bungie-studio-manager?pager.offset=2 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/issues/issue_9/56-The-Contrarian-Roll-the-Dice http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/09/bungie-co-founder-destiny-creator-on-halos-greatest-tragedy http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/monsters-in-a-box/Content?oid=901762 http://marathon.bungie.org/story/blam.html halo.bungie.net/inside/teamindex.aspx http://wiki.oni2.net/Bungie_West http://twvideo01.ubm-us.net/o1/vault/gdc2015/presentations/Butcher_DestinyEngine_GDC2015_final.pdf Canceled Bungie Game 'Gypsum' Revealed youtube.com/watch?v=3ZzZD91OCE8 Bungie Documentary: O Brave New World youtube.com/watch?v=0vTDwW3H5Jw Bungie Chicago HQ Tour 1999: youtube.com/watch?v=WMqC8x7UpvsBungie Studio Tour 2004 youtube.com/watch?v=n9B-ztirZhI Behind the Scenes Making of Halo 2 youtube.com/watch?v=0q69Msy8ttM Let's Play Marathon - Trailer youtube.com/watch?v=QKj8NztvGzo Retrohistories: The Prehistory of Bungie youtube.com/watch?v=t1x2sNtYVBo Myth: The Fallen Lords youtube.com/watch?v=gE-137Kks80Game Tapes Raw: Xbox - Bill Gates/The Rock youtube.com/watch?v=WMZa-tNwAzQ First Halo trailer for XBOX at the 2001 GameStock youtube.com/watch?v=PUurY8ExRi0 + youtube.com/watch?v=pL00DMJfnHo Chalus Castle Battle youtube.com/watch?v=7qX6JfFdpRwMaking of Halo 2 youtube.com/watch?v=GHoTMhq0vzE Halo 3 (MCC) Vanguard Achievement Guide youtube.com/watch?v=v5vPHVutkgU

Magical Ninjya: Jiraiya Kenzan [PS2 by Capcom, Cancelled | Low Quality Trailer] Unseen64: an Archive for Beta & Cancelled Games 2016-11-12 | unseen64.net/2010/02/03/the-magical-ninjya-jiraiya-kenzan-ps2-cancelled The Magical Ninjya: Jiraiya Kenzan (also know as Magical Ninja Ji Rai Ya) is a cancelled action game / platform that was in development in 2002 / 2003 by Capcom Production Studio 3 for the Playstation 2.
